Final Fantasy XIV will be realeased for a 2 month beta on PS3 on December 14th! On the side note Final Fantasy 14's new team was fired 2 month's ago now we have a badass director and the FF11,6,4 team working on 14 now! Final Fantasy 11 team had 243 people on the team... 15 of them are maintaining the 11 server's the rest are going too remake 14! and if you don't believe this info long behold google lodestone 2.0 (The FF14 2.0 Remake)
@gunlook Er.. You're a bit off, the FF11 director was fired in November 2010, the new team is led by Yoshi-P, a director who had always wanted to make an MMO, and he's in charge of remaking the game and of 2.0. Please check your info before posting falseties.
You all need to read up on the plans for this game in 2012. They are completely re-doing the graphics engine and UI to make it MUCH more PC friendly. Also the jobs system will be added very soon with a lot of new content before the total revamp which will then lead into the long awaited PS3 release. Square realized that this game was very close to DoA so they completely replaced the team working on it and it's coming along very well and will soon be not only playable but a fun experience too!
@NoctLightCloud hahaha, well that is because the old dev team was lead by some visionary that didnt know the mechanism of an MMO.... . and shit happens.
@NoctLightCloud The reason is because of the 2.0 revamp. Instead of giving the PS3 users the pain of having to play the game in it's current state. It's easier to wait till 2.0 is released. (PC is being forced to have to download a new client and everything for 2.0) So it makes sense that the PS3 release was delayed till Jan 2013.
I listened to every one of these, and most have only 1 dislike. It's like someone went through disliking all of them. If someone didn't like any of these songs they wouldn't have taken the time... makes me think it's a rival video game company trying to hate... Nobuo is a god among men, and those that would act against him will suffer Karma's wrath!
Rather than people arguing about which FF was better, why not just all agree that they all have hardcore, kickass tunes that keep the universe in balance by ofsetting the shitty rappers that have been coming out the woodwork.
@lescoparodieur LOL! I meant wow as in I am amazed at how awesome the song is. I plan on starting this game soon i have it but never got around to playing do to the crapy graphics card. getting a new one.
i hate the newer directions that square has done with the final fantasy series (yes i said square because even tho square and enix merged they still dont do everything together)
the series has gotten bland after they started to majorly change how the games were being made
to me the main series ended at Final Fantasy X and everything after that is just a game with the final fantasy name slapped on it, it just isn't the same kind of game any more
@thekid20x6 Just to make youtube conversation, I would personally say that FFX out of the trinity that is FFIX, FFX, and FFXI, is the farthest away from the classical FF and sort of blossomed the series to what it has become now (still one of my favorites in my opinion.) Although XI was an MMO it was incredibly faithful to the ethos of Final Fantasy ^_^
@monsterfurby I've actually come to enjoy it a lot with the bew release patch. This is coming from a player who HNM tanked for one of the best linkshells in FFXI and heals for a US Top 100 guild in WoW. Try it by December, its gotton pretty decent.
Really, on merit of its artistic style alone, I really would like to try out FFXIV. But - does the game hold up now? Few sites have bothered to re-review it. How is it now?
@monsterfurby I agree with saitothelegend. The game really has improved quite a bit thanks to the new content and general changes the new team has made. They've already revealed quite a few other things they're working on as well. Chocobos (rental and personal), airships, and an Ifrit boss battle are actually scheduled to be released in the next couple days in addition to major changes to crafting recipes. Give it a shot in the next couple months.
@monsterfurby Just be sure to pick a server that is three chocobos in population, otherwise you'll have issues. Mysidia is pretty good, in my opinion.
I felt that they should have kept it purely orchestral, the electric guitars towards the end kind of turned it off for me, but an amazing piece nonetheless! Nobuo Uematsu = pure genius, he never fails to surprise me!
Judging by the plans they have for fixing this game, it's going to be WAY better than FFXIII and FFXIII-2 combined. Y'all need to see the list of changes they plan to implement.
By the time this game comes out on PS3, it will be one of the best MMORPGs on HD consoles.
@Galvanizer67 I hope so, but it does still need work.
A lot of work on the content side of things, though I understand that takes a ~long~ time. Maybe a little work on the occasionally awkward controls (though it's not that bad), and definitely more Levequests, or removing the Levequest limit period.
That said, I'm very much enjoying the game - both in roleplay situations and just running around killing things.
@ZaerTheDraconian Agreed. The true benefit with FFXIV is that it can be improved and then re-released. I'm actually glad it flopped as it now means the FFXIV team are restructured with even better staff and are now more serious about making an excellent game due to FFXIV originally getting critically panned.
@Galvanizer67 Mmhmm. It would have been better if it was great at launch, though...Since it will always have the bad press attached to its name.
But the new design team really have shown that they care, and they care about their players too, and that's why I like the game. They're actively improving it all the time.
@ZaerTheDraconian Yeah, it would have been better for everyone if it was a masterpiece at launch. Still, by failing, they've now got a motivator to make the game one of the best MMORPGs this hardware generation. Sometimes when you lose the first match, you always come back and win the re-match. Look at the Rocky movies, for example.
@Galvanizer67 Very true, and for all intents and purposes, that seems to be the exact case here. I'm just a little sad that a lot of people won't give it a try because it's now got a stigma attached to its name.
@ZaerTheDraconian Well, the same can be said about FFXIII. That game has a stigma attached to the name but I'm sure some will still give FFXIII-2 a try to see what improvements they've made. Sure, some will not buy it as it's a sequel to FFXIII but some will see the (hopefully) positive reviews may purchase it. Square Enix have said FFXIV will be re-launched on PC and PS3 when all the improvements and patches have been made. Hopefully, people will give it a try and critics will re-review it.
@Galvanizer67 I think FFXIII-2 is one I'm definitely renting before buying. I ~hated~ FFXIII, it was really quite boring. XD
But if they're relaunching it, that will probably help address my issue a bit, and therefore render my one fear mostly invalid, and my soul will rest easier at night. Or something like that.
@ZaerTheDraconian I won't be buying FFXIII-2 at launch. It's about time Square Enix learned that you don't get sales for a shit game. I'll buy it but when it's massively drops in price. That's a huge difference to my midnight launch purchase of FFXIII.
Anyway, FFXIV will be great when finished. I have faith it will be better received when relaunched. Don't forget that they've relaunched FFXI numerous times. I'm sure the relaunch of FFXIV will be out in late 2012 (25th anniversary of FF)
@Galvanizer67 how the hell is XIII-2 a shit game, so what improving and listenin to the fans abotu what made 13 "bad" makes 13-2 a bad game, yah sure why not
plus 13 wasnt even a bad game in any way, if you think it is your just being biased and stuck in the past, now if its the story you thougght was bad but the gameplay was bad then tats more acceptable BUT only if you disliked FFX and VII for the same reasons cause their story has the same flaws 13's story had, hell 7 did them worse
@jsh020 XIII-2 is a shit game as it's me paying for a gameplay experience that should have been in the first FFXIII. It should be half price at release and not full price. Why should I pay money for "improvements"? Sorry, they're not getting my money.
And FFXIII was terrible. It wasn't even a video game; it was n interactive movie. FFXII was a video game with huge world and seamless battles and showed that JRPGs can evolve. Then in comes FFXIII that plays like a interactive movie. No, thanks.
ok if your sayign FFXIII is a bad game cause theres alot of cutscenes then FF 4-10 are now also considered bad games by that logic along with metal gear solid 1-4, mass effect 1 and 2, dragon age 1 and 2(ok 2 was just a shit game), yakuza 1-4, all tales of games
in toher words you think every rpg not just J-rpg but every rpg in general is a bad game aside form thsoe rare games like eternal sonata, and valkyrie profile which there are like 5 of
@jsh020 Interactive movie means that there are a lot of cut-scenes that you don't interact with. Only FF10 and FF13 fall in this category. In other FF games, you have to press a button to make the speech continue and they also have vast world and are not linear like FF10 and FF13.
@Galvanizer67 the first FF to allow you to say stuff ina cutscenes was FF7, but heres the thing
thos elitterly were just saying yes and no to side missions
face it dude, your obviously biased again 13 cause your stuck in the past
your reasons for hating 13 apply to 95% of games, movie, well all story driven games are out, sequal having more feature that should "quote of beeen int eh first game" so it should only be half priced, welp every sequal ever made is out, your just being biased dude
@HyakuZaku You obviously were for some reason attracted to this video since you came here to only talk shit about it and to others....pointless in my opinion.
@HyakuZaku You obviously aren't intellectually capable of comprehending this song. Even if you dont like orchestrated music; even if you don't like 14. This song lyrically is one of the deepest, emotionally moving songs ever made.
I love that the disembodied voice that you hear in the opening cinematics is part of this song. I hear that the guards at Ishgard give a hint as to what it was?
When the Chorus along Susan Calloway's epic voice sets in with echoes it just pushes you out of the space & time continuum for the time the song lasts....
As true as this is, FF14 still has a lot of work to be done, and while it's not "release" horrible, it's still... I guess you can say sub-par. But it's making a slow climb to being the same quality as FF11.
I've been waiting for a ps3 release for this game and I know it's been pushed back indefinitely.....does anyone know if it's actually a good game now that it's been patched up the ying yang?
@GodAloneBeTheGlory Yes, been playing since january and the game really is very fun to play, they've made many changes as well and new content is about to be released.
Such a beautiful voice, I have never claimed to be a fan of anyone prior to the day i first heard her voice but I am officially a fan of Susan Calloway!
hmm cool song, but a shame the same cannot be said of the game, is like when you first play it you hear this song and you think "wow awesome intro, this is gonna be an awesome game!!!" but sadly you enter the game it's the opposite, like a really really terrible joke.... its not even funny :(
@kozichan projected timeline for the game's main revamp (combat system, quests, transport, job system) is set to be all implimented by summer's end. I suggest you come check the game out on it's 1 year anniversary, by then it should be great.
i still play now, it feels very different to launch, with the new revamps set to change it even further.
I also heard this for the first on Friday at BAM. What a fantastic song! I think Susan Calloway's singing along with the choir is what makes it so epic! As a die-hard final fantasy fan, I must say she did a great job with this, as well as her renditions of the other songs.
Mmm.. great singer, but this song is just a wannabe of Distant Worlds, really, you just have to listen to both and it becomes painfully obvious. Same composer, yes, but it's sad that he tried to imitate his own song only to make a crappier version lol.
I think he/she means Distant Worlds~Memoro De la Stono sung by Susan.
I think that they do have a similar story but, their is a huge difference in the instruments being played. Ex: Distant Worlds (Memoro de la Stono) is played by a full orchestra while this is played with a Harp (I think), Organ, drums, and guitar.
Nobuo: the greatest video game composer ever. and one of the great composers of our time. Im going to see this be performed in Brooklyn. When you hear Ms. Calloway sing with the orchestra its as if the heavens are opening up. amazing peice
Such an amazing voice,They could have picked anyone to vocalise this and they couldn't have found a better person. It's nice to see people given a chance and she smashed it.
I've never been a HUGE fan of many Final Fantasy games (1, 8, and 10 are the only ones I've really enjoyed). But I love all of Nobuo-San's work. This is the first time I've heard this song and I had to fight back tears a couple times... Not only do I get to hear this song live come June, but I get to meet the mastermind behind it. June can not come soon enough! (It being winter and very cold where I am doesn't really alleviate the waiting process either! =P)
@thedeadpianist I hope this doesn't get into a big debate on religion, but what happens is that we are in fact, not meant to die. We were made as perfect servants of God, but when sin entered the world, we are forced with the fact that the punishment for sin is death.
The core message of Christianity is that of God's work to save us from death. God saves us from the punishment of sin by taking on that punishment Himself. It's an incredible message if you think about it.
@flik221 no, those are just extremeist and/ or hypocrites who twist the words of the Koran. Islam doesnt support violence unless its for self defense and we're taught to treat women as equals and just about every muslims does. there are just some idiots who do insane actions under the name of islam and then the media go and portray that as what islam teaches.
@flik221 the Bible has pretty much the same things in it... of course most dont even know it let alone act on it. I think its reasonable to say the same about muslims.
@GodAloneBeTheGlory Well, if you don't want this to get into a debate, don't say you know THE answer, and rather say you know ONE answer, if you get what I mean (I'm not saying this as an assault, huh).
@Katari12 intersting... if you dont mind me asking, what changes? because i rly was thinking about bying this game and hitting the mmorpg relms again, but after all the review and gameplay i have seen, the light was looking dim. so what are these changes you speak of? plz reply :) ( sorry for bad grammer and spelling )
@itsok89@itsok89 SE has been making changes after changes to the game, including adding in a new 30 free days. (yes, that's 90 free days of game play)
Basically people were not liking that the game was new, and were constantly complaining, so instead of working on server stability (like SE was doing) they decided to start working on the stuff people were QQin
@Katari12 TBH i think this is the best FF since 8 and the issues i had are being resolved (namely problems levelling Armorer) but i hate that everyone seems to hate it when its a million times the game Blizzard could ever make. I personally love the new job system, especially since you can still play as classic jobs albeit without the title. I hope that it gets the same legion that loved XI
everytime i listen to this song i want to play FFIV... then i remember how horrible it is atm... lets hope SE can make the game as epic as this song. thumbs up if u have hope
i don't think i enjoy nobuo's songs like i do before. Feels like that magical touch in his compositions were now lost. FF9 music was definitely his best. 10 was still great. And then kiss me good bye from 12 felt weaker.
Favourite bit from around 5:00 onwards... So epic!! Can't wait to see (hear? lol) the variants and how the music will play into the game's main storyline. I really enjoyed FFXI's main theme and I anticipate some real heart-wrenching and engaging storyline development in XIV! Uematsu sensei and Ms Calloway BRAVO!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He really needs to stop putting in those supid drums and electric guitars. It totally ruins the music. Orchestra + rock = not very good. Maybe only for advent children. Anything else.....sounds rubbish
this song is amazing honestly. been scouting the entire net to figure out what the damn name was and who sung the female voice, was amazing and basically the inspiration to me buying the actual game as i had doubts xD
the voice really gets you into this kinda stuff =o
This song is great, but it's not Calloway's best work. Calloway does a great job singing, but the background drowns her out.
Her best work, by far, is "Melodies of Life," from "Distant Worlds II: More Music From Final Fantasy." The orchestra there allows her to shine. I may be biased, however, because that song is available in FLAC 24-bit/88.1 format. The jump from 16 to 24 bits makes a huge difference. It would be amazing to find a 24-bit version of this song to compare.
@codemasterda Yeah if your going to be working with music in video games you can't do better than Uematsu imo. This is truly epic, love the whole female lead with epic rock like this.
Not a fan of the Rock part of the song--sounds like Lacuna Coil or Nightwish or something xD But I had to find the song after hearing it in the intro--the full version of the song is deeeefinitely different. Still like it, though. :P Thanks for uploading, bro.
itt'l get better, trust me, i've already seen some of the improvements!
ths game will evolve into something glorious!

Galvanizer67 5 months ago
@Galvanizer67 the first FF to allow you to say stuff ina cutscenes was FF7, but heres the thing
thos elitterly were just saying yes and no to side missions
face it dude, your obviously biased again 13 cause your stuck in the past
your reasons for hating 13 apply to 95% of games, movie, well all story driven games are out, sequal having more feature that should "quote of beeen int eh first game" so it should only be half priced, welp every sequal ever made is out, your just being biased dude

As true as this is, FF14 still has a lot of work to be done, and while it's not "release" horrible, it's still... I guess you can say sub-par. But it's making a slow climb to being the same quality as FF11.

@kozichan projected timeline for the game's main revamp (combat system, quests, transport, job system) is set to be all implimented by summer's end. I suggest you come check the game out on it's 1 year anniversary, by then it should be great.
i still play now, it feels very different to launch, with the new revamps set to change it even further.

I also heard this for the first on Friday at BAM. What a fantastic song! I think Susan Calloway's singing along with the choir is what makes it so epic! As a die-hard final fantasy fan, I must say she did a great job with this, as well as her renditions of the other songs.

@kotono00
I think he/she means Distant Worlds~Memoro De la Stono sung by Susan.
I think that they do have a similar story but, their is a huge difference in the instruments being played. Ex: Distant Worlds (Memoro de la Stono) is played by a full orchestra while this is played with a Harp (I think), Organ, drums, and guitar.
So I would have to dissagree with their claim.

Alright, this might not be 100% precise, but it should be close.
Thy life is a riddle to bear rapture and sorrow
To listen, to suffer, to entrust unto (until?) tomorrow
In one fleeting moment from the land doth life flow
Yet in one fleeting for the new leaf (for a-new it?) doth grow
In the same fleeting moment thou must live, die and know.
The lyrics are a little bit clearer here:

This is the first time I've heard this song and I had to fight back tears a couple times... Not only do I get to hear this song live come June, but I get to meet the mastermind behind it. June can not come soon enough! (It being winter and very cold where I am doesn't really alleviate the waiting process either! =P)

@thedeadpianist I hope this doesn't get into a big debate on religion, but what happens is that we are in fact, not meant to die. We were made as perfect servants of God, but when sin entered the world, we are forced with the fact that the punishment for sin is death.
The core message of Christianity is that of God's work to save us from death. God saves us from the punishment of sin by taking on that punishment Himself. It's an incredible message if you think about it.

This song is great, but it's not Calloway's best work. Calloway does a great job singing, but the background drowns her out.
Her best work, by far, is "Melodies of Life," from "Distant Worlds II: More Music From Final Fantasy." The orchestra there allows her to shine. I may be biased, however, because that song is available in FLAC 24-bit/88.1 format. The jump from 16 to 24 bits makes a huge difference. It would be amazing to find a 24-bit version of this song to compare.
